Skunk Anansie new album is out! Black Traffic succeds to Wonderlustre (their first studio album after their reformation) released in 2010. This album was produced in their own label with the collaboration of earMUSIC.
"The doom and gloom merchants may whine about the music industry, but we've seen it as a positive chance to re-invent how we work and take more control over our art form. (…) With our new album Black Traffic and new label we are really excited with the future of Skunk, this is my personal favourite as an album, even better than Wonderlustre which spawned some great songs. We're back, and – f*** me – we're gonna enjoy every last minute of it!"
The first single of the new album is called I Don’t Believe You and according to the leadsinger, Skin, it’s about politics and how disappointed the band feels about their politicians (Skunk Anansie are a british band): “They all f**k up because eventually it becomes more about keeping their positions of power than elevating the position of their country.”
Besides I Don’t Believe You, it’s already known the second single I Hope You Get to Meet Your Hero.
“We're really excited about the release of 'I Hope You Get To Meet Your Hero' which is one of our fave tracks from our new album ‘Black Traffic’. It's a song about the perils of putting people you love on pedestals. We especially loved working again with Wil Malone (Adele, The Verve, Take That) who arranged the strings on this track, they really help the mood shine out. We look forward to playing this one live, gonna be a kila!”, says Skin.
